And I'm not sure where you heard the 1.2 billion from; most sources are saying 1.2 million.
I've already stated that i incorrectly said billion, a couple of posts ago.

My apologies. I hit the Quote button and walked away before finishing my post. Didn't refresh the thread before posting to see that 3 minutes prior, you had corrected yourself.

Pure, no holds barred capitalism would be bad for the majority in my opinion. That's why we have a mixed economic system.

I bought a pair of Aldens and pair of boots from Oakstreet Bootmakers. If there's one thing I definitely like American, it is my shoes. Furniture is the other.

When you refuse to buy Canadian or Mexican goods they will nor buy American ones. Trying to keep Mexican manufacturing low will not do anything about 8llrgal immigration whereas those factories making a product for Mexico, the US and the World d9 while bringin cash flow to the parent compant. My Japanese vecixle made in Canada has parts from maybe 6 other countries helping everyone.

As long as the US seems determined to stop other countries products from entering the States 8 am picking Mexican produce over American during the winter and will be waiting for BC fruit coming after the Washington State fruit has been in our stores. Don't want imports then keep your exports for your citizens own use.

And after what Republicans have done to this country, I kinda do hate America. It's turned into a corruption, Russia-esque cesspool.
He's just playing by the rules established by previous administrations. As a business man, he'd be a FOOL not to. So you expect him, every other business owner, and consumers to choose American goods out of the goodness of their own heart?

That's not how the world works. Time to step down from Wonderland and meet the rest of us in reality. This is the problem with liberal thinking.

CHANGE THE LAWS, TRADE AGREEMENTS, ETC. It's that simple, and that's exactly what Trump is doing. Systematic change needs to occur to change the way.
